Ram Kapoor weighed in, saying successful actors who no longer have to chase roles are in a position to set their own terms. Reflecting on his own experience, he recalled limiting his work to 8 hours during his television days.

Deepika Padukone`s reported exit from Spirit, helmed by Animal filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, continues to dominate discussions in the film business. At the heart of the issue is her demand for an eight-hour workday, which has significantly divided opinion in Bollywood. While some see it as a constructive move toward better working conditions in the entertainment industry, others say that such judgments are not always clear.
Seasoned actor Ram Kapoor recently spoke out on the topic. Speaking with Firstpost, the Karrle Tu Bhi Mohabbat actor revealed his nuanced perspective, relying on his extensive experience in television and film.
Sharing his opinion, Ram said, "Once you have achieved success in showbiz—whether as a star or an actor—and people want to work with you, then yes, you are in a position to choose how many hours you want to work," Ram said candidly. “Even when I was doing television, I used to decide how many hours I wanted to work. So I’ve been lucky. Anybody who reaches a level where they don’t have to find work is in a position to choose."
